I wish the comeback was minidisc. I was just the right age to think this was the future of portable music. Mostly because I could record radio, other cds and cassettes onto them.

Due to the time difference, I only login when I’m out for a night out or staying up late. But it’s still an enjoyable experience when I get to log in.

I adore this series and other deep dives like it. If anyone can suggest others I would be grateful.

My first website was effectively a wiki on different races from Star Trek. It was plain text. With a few pages eventually having an image and it was just stiff said about them in the original series, next generation and eventually ds9. It w

My old work used to give a default month-year-org name and an exclamation mark. The majority of people who still used it was insane. LinkedIn was a treasure trove for logging into accounts.

I’m a mountain biker, I even internally complain about some road cyclists. The ones who take up far more of the road than necessary, granted because they can, and slow you down prior to traffic lights meaning you hit a red. But when you hit

I scrolled down hoping to see this mentioned. If it wasn’t I was going to bring it up, faith in lip synced music telly reconfirmed.

On this I will say they are far more snappy than they used to be, battery life is great if you ask me. But in real terms I moved my home streaming app of choice to infuse. Between that app and the Apple TV 4K I’ve had since just before the

I think they do, my kids play Roblox and Minecraft and buying in app is more expensive (probably to the tune of the Apple fees) than buying it outwith the App Store. I don’t think app developers were allowed to show that it was x price in t

Thanks, that makes a good deal of sense. I guess there’s probably been a few places called bifteki around the uk and other countries then.

I used to play the games on that when I was a kid at my grand house. I particularly liked on called bamboozle if I recall. It was a kind of quiz game.

This was definitely a tradecraft code word when two dudes passed a briefcase between each other in a cold park one day in Moscow. Heavy, heavy pronunciation going on to near comical effect.

I think there used to be a kebab place in Glasgow called bifteki. It generally signalled the end of a night when you headed there.

Ooft, that turns my 15 pro into a tall, tall boy. I love the idea of it but I don’t think it’s practical for me.

I think for me it was due to hearing about made up citations being used, I think for legal stuff. So being able to load a boatload of official datasheets and have them referenced in the design was what caught my eye as being useful.

I seen an LLM, or maybe another variant of “AI” [0] a while back that could aid design of electronic circuits by having a pool of data sheets added for referencing. As you were querying specs for a board at component level it could give you

W-86 for the win. I had an f91w until a friend broke the strap, he bought me the 86 as a replacement and the illuminator function was game changing (spent a lot of time in the dark due to work so it was welcome). My son uses it now, he’s yo

Blindsight by Peter Watts and I’ve just finished the sea of rust by C. Robert Cargil. Both are good, sea of rust was a quick read, informative on the world building with a fast enough plot that kicked in early enough to keep me read more. B

Is this a case of can’t get it to work or won’t work on it yet? With some businesses the drive for features may be driven by the number of users using that feature. I wish my Apple TV could add Netflix to the up next based on which profile

Ah the machine that goes “ping” This is my favourite. You see, we lease this back from the company we sold it to, and that way, it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.
